The Tastings to End All Tastings

We always enjoy hosting tastings here at Hashigo Zake, for a variety of reasons. They are a great way for us to get to know the products we were selling better. They're also a great way to introduce new products and often whole new styles to our regular customers. And most of all they're a really enjoyable way to spend an evening.

In 2018 it's a lot harder to surprise anyone with truly original and different products than it was in 2009. One way we can still surprise though is by building a tasting out of the stash of rare, high gravity, expensive or just great beers that have been built up over the years at Beer Without Borders and the Cult Beer Store.

So this month we're pushing the boat out with a pair of tastings made up of some of the very best imported beers that have been available in New Zealand over the last five years.

Ales From The Crypt takes place on Wednesday July 11 and the Mother Of All Tastings takes place on Wednesday July 18.

The smart thing to do is to book for both at once and take advantage of a $10 saving.
